The vice-presidential nominees,
Mebsra. Sheruntn utiJ ivern, aie good
follows, but
They have permitted the use of
their namcb on the two great ticketu
of the land, for campaign purposes
only, and will have to accept the con
bequonces, f hlet among which will be
a negation measurably only by the
momentous importance of their re
spective colleagues, in the turmoil
that is ahead of all of us.
Very recent history has given the
American people a lesson worth the
heeding in this matter of vice-presidents,
says the Astorian. The suc
cession of Mr. McKinley, falling as it
did to a man of invincible courage
and wonderful tra'nlng, furnishes
forth a hint of what the vice-presi-
doncy may mean at any time in our
history. We know- nothing of the
gentlemen immediately in question as
fit successors of either of the leaders,
and we can but hope that they are
of the calibre that will meet and
servo any such tremendous emerg
ency. The mere sufferance to which the
vice presidency has dropped in these
days, has made It a fearsome thing
to most good and able men, who see
In It the travesty of offlce-ohlding in
the concrete, and nothing else, and
refuse to allow themselves to go up
for sacrifice. It is time the close as
sociate of the Chief Executive of the
Nation, the second man In tho land,
was made something of besides a
political sop, and a poor figurehead,
a hollow sham, and a subject for
ribald cartoon and jest; tho office
Should be invested with dignities that
lino up sharply with the prestige of
tho greater post and save our good
and reputable men from its present
emptiness and barren import, even if
the national constitution has to be
amended in the doing of It.
THE KEAFj HOOSTEK.
"There is much talk these days of
boosters and bonstinir, much of it
that Is backed l me real work
along thnt line and a good deal of
It that is puiely and simply 'hot air.
"Tho renl booster in a town is
tho man who alwajs has a good word
for that town and Its institutions;
the man who, when a stranger is
within tho gates of his town will
oxert himself of speak a good word
for tho place.
"The real booster is always to bo
found lending his financial and his
moral aid to any project which has
for Its object tho botterment of his
community and one who Is never
found shaking his head wisely and
questioning the motives of tho men
who aro trying to do somothlng for
Ills town and consequently for him.
"Tho real booster soldom stands
on tho street corner and bomoans tho
fact that tho town Is going to tho
bow-wows. Ho docs not havo timo
to sit around and complain while do
ing nothing to make things better.
"No, tho real booster, tho man
who's ontltled to the namo, will toll
you that IiIb town Is tho best one on
earth.
"Ho will always bo found on tho
firing lino and If ho has a kick be
auBo business is dull ho koops It to
"himself and lets you think ho Is do
ing more business than any ono.
"Tho real booster contributes to
tho uplifting and betterment of his
town and her pooplo; ho takes its
Eocnl papers and ndvortlses In Its col
nimns. He Is a genial, onorgetlc,
whole-souled Individual, whoso llfo
Js lived that others aro mndo happlor
and bettor. Here's to him. May his
tribe Increase"

"Hustle nnd Grin."
"Smile and the world smiles with
you,"
"Knock," nnd you go alone,
For the cheerful grin
Will let you in
Where the kicker is never known.
Growl, and the way looks dreary,
Laugh, and the path is bright,
For a welcome smile I
Brings sunshine, while
A frown shuts out the light.
Sigh, and you attain nothing,
Work, and the prize is won,
For the nervy man
With the backbone can
By nothing be outdone.
Hustle, and the fortune awaits you,
Shirk, and defeat is sure,
For there's no chance
Of deliveiance
For the chap who can't endure.
Sing, and the world's harmonious,
Grumble, and the things go wrong,
And all the time
You are out of rhyme
With the busy, bustling throng,
Kick, and there's trouble brewing,
Whistle, and life Is gay,
And tho world's in tune
Like a day in June.
And the clouds all melt away.

A young man had been calling now
and then on a young lady, when one

He turned very red and was about
to stammer some incoherent reply
when suddenly the young lady called
down from the head of the stairs:

Great interest Taken In The
Times' Popular Voting
Contest.
The Coos Bay Times Popular Vot
ing Contest which will start next
Tuesday In which a Parlor Grand
Gablcr piano, a gold watch, a ladles'
tailored suit, a gentleman's tailor
made suit, a library table, a talking
machine and other prizes will be
given to the most popular people in
Coos county, is arousing much inter
est. Dozens of nominations have
beon turned in and the flrst list of
competitors which will be published
next Tuesday will include many of
the best known people and leading
organizations in the county.
Some evidently misunderstood the
provision governing nominations or
havo taken tho contest manager for
a mind-reader because they neglect
ed to sign their own names to the
nomination blanks. Parties nominat
ing candidates should be sure to sign
their own names to tho blanks as
well as that of tho party they wish
to place in nomination as in case
their choice Is a prize winner, they
aro entitled to a year's subscription
to Tho Dnily Times for one year.
Don't Hold Back.
Many are holding back their nom
inations to seo who some of tho com
petitors are but they will And this
is a mistake. It will bo decidedly
beneficial to competitors to have
their names In the flrst list as It will
onablo their friends to know that
thoy are in tho running and work
for them, whereas if their friends do
not know it they may pledge their
votes to some other candidate who
Is active on tho start.
Tho details of tho contest aro told
In a full pago announcement else
where In The Times today. If there
Is anything you don't understand
about it, call up Tho Times office
and havo it explained to you.
Monday, Tho Times will furnish
blanks to all who desire them to have
old subscribers and new subscribers
fill out specifying the parties to
whom tho votes for which they are
entitled shall be credited.

LDCAL PAVING
Lumberman Writes J. E. Oren
Views On Marshfield Street
Improvements.
The following self explanatory and
decidedly Interesting letter has been
furnished The Times for publica
tion:
Mr. J. E. Oren, Marshfield, Oregon.
Dear sir: I am in receipt of your
letter of the ISth and in answer
thereto have wired you as follows:
"Answering letter ISth, resist as
phalt paving to the end. See letter."
which I herewith confirm.
It is needless to sav I am astonish
ed that tho peop'e are really going
ahead with this paving anywhere,
and especially on Front St. I am
convinced that, after a more
thorough investigation and mature
consideration, the pconlo will see
this question in a different light, so
'hat, although you may make some
enemies now by rcs'sUng, bv the
opening of next season you will he
blessed for preventing this very un
wise proposition. Of course, if, after
taking all the steps you possibly can
to prevent this paving, you are
beaten, we can feel that we have
done our duty for what we know
positively Is for the best interests of
the town. If some of the people in
terested would look into the experi
ence of otl er cities on this proposi
tion and become familiar with what
other cities are doing, I am satisfied
that there would soon he a change
of mind.
When in New York Inst month I
noticed that Lower Broadway has
been paved with wooden blocks. It
is the case everywhere, as I wrote
von a while ago about Chicago, and
wheiever I go I find that wooden
pavement is the popular pavement,
as I have felt for many years that
it would be. London and Paris have
used it for more than thirty years.
It is the regular thing there. Where
ver other pavement is being torn up
it is almost Invariably replaced by
wood. If this is done where wood is
two or three times more expensive
than at Marshfield and where other
lavements can be had very much
sheaper, then why in the name of
ommnn sense should Marshfield act
differently.
I realize there will be a great ar
gument that wherever wooden pave
ment is laid the blocks are treated.
This is generally true always true
is far as the large cities are con
cerned but, as stated in a previous
letter, I am convinced that fir blocks
without treatment and, if thought
best, with a heavy coat of boiling tar
poured over the pavement when laid,
will last longer than ordinary as
phalt. For that matter, I am satis
fled that the blocks could be creo
soted and the pavement laid cheap
er than asphalt. However, where
wood is so exceedingly cheap as
there, I most certainly would not go
even to that expense.
Hoping that this matter may be
stopped, not only for our own benefit
as far as actual expense Is concerned,
but for the best Interests of the city
at large, I remain,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) C. A. SMITH.
cured lends impetus to the movement
to make the Second Southern Oregon
District Fair for 19 08 the biggest
ever.
A meeting at tho Chamber of Com
merce of those looking after the
details of tho fair, discloses the fact,
that tho business Interests of Coos
county are behind the movement
and assures an event on August 26,
to 29 on the bay that will be epochal
In the history of the district fairs.
One of the most Important steps
taken by the promoters yesterday was
tho selection of Carl Albright, an ex
perienced man, to go Into the field
and solicit exhibits and co-operate
with and instruct those desiring to
mnko exhibits of their products, live
stock or anything that may be of
Interest to the crowds that will be
in attendance.
Xo Fee On Exhibits.
A wrong Impression sesems to have
gono out concerning the terms of
making displays- some thinking there
Is a fee exacted for exhibition space.
Thoro Is absolutely no charge made
for space for exhibition purposes.
Tho only case where a charge Is
made Is whore tho exhibitor wishes
to use his space to sell his wares.
A reasonable charge Is made for such
privilege.
Vice-President L. J. Simpson, who
Is credited ns the main factor in
making such a glowing success of
tho Coos County exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark fair, assured tho board yes
torday that thoro would bo an elabor
ate display of woods, furniture, sash
doors, etc., at the Coos Bay fair. C.
